16. “ Bon annniversaire, Marc. Le 5 décembre 2008, tu fêteras tes vingt-neuf ans. Tu permets qu’on se tutoie, Marc ? Tu ne me connais pas, c’est vrai. Mais moi, je te connais très bien. C’est sur toi qu’est tombée la (mal)chance d’être le premier portrait Google du Tigre. Une rubrique toute simple : on prend un anonyme et on raconte sa vie grâce à toutes les traces qu’il a laissées, volontairement ou non sur Internet. Comment ça, un message se cache derrière l’idée de cette rubrique? Évidemment: l’idée qu’on ne fait pas vraiment attention aux informations privées disponibles sur Internet, et que, une fois synthétisées, elles prennent soudain un relief inquiétant … Mais c’est pour la bonne cause; et puis, après tout, c’est de ta faute tu n’avais qu’à faire attention.” Happy Birthday Marc. On the 5 th December 2008 you will be 29. Do you mind if I call you Marc? You don’t know me, that’s true. But me, I know you very well. It falls on you the (bad)luck of being the first ‘Tigre’ Google portrait. It is a simple rubric: find an anonymous person and tell the story of their life using all the traces they have left voluntarily, or not, on the internet. … But it is for a good cause; and anyway, after all, it is your fault: all you had to do was pay attention.

17. the role of identity in career progression

19. Big companies understand the importance of brands. Today, in the Age of the Individual, you have to be your own brand … the CEO of Me Inc. The brand called you http://tinyurl.com/3dwlu8/ http://www.slideshare.net/tijs/personal-branding-09-presentation

20. a level playing field? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FUyjOE3oNrY Problem 1: not everyone has the necessary set of skills to brand themselves effectively. Problem 2: profiles can be mashed up and re-aggregated by ‘others’ cf. ‘re-performance’

22. a proof of concept identity may not be a CV and a CV is not online identity BUT it is a key component in identity transactions related to education and work addresses control, management and user-centric* presentation of the self background of increasing use of blogs, plug-ins, widgets *this is an approach also adopted by the ‘H-Resume’ project
